First McCain sticker of the season,

I’m on the ground at the 2008 Republican National Convention in Minneapolis - St. Paul.
Joe Mansour and I went to the convention center to pick-up our “special press” credentials and are in our hotel in Eagon (just a “tad” outside of the city) watching the press […]
Flip Video Mino, originally uploaded by DavidAll06.
This is the latest toy to hit the DAG arsenal — a Flip Video Mino. It’s neat and the packaging is stylish, similar to Apple’s.
This little sucker lets me record up to 60 minutes of video with decent audio and then quickly upload via its USB connector to my […]
Due to the rain, I’m cabbing into DAG. The song in the cab is “time after time.” not sure who the artist is but it’s a classic.
“If you fall I will catch you…”
Likely going to stuck in my head for the next few hours.
Wednesday is nearly over and I haven’t been blogging much in this space. (Sorry Mom.) So where has the time gone?
Well…
I’ve spent a majority of my time accomplishing as much work as possible before I leave for the Republican National Convention next week.
I’ve been going back-and-forth with my real estate brokers on proposals from a […]
Cockscomb Flowers, originally uploaded by DavidAll06.
On my way back from Whole Foods I stopped dead in my tracks when I spotted these ridiculously bright and interesting flowers at Faluh’s stand.
I chatted with my Faluh and he told me they are “Cockscomb’s.” I was sold.
The cockscomb’s real name is “Celosia.” They are a very unique […]
Barack’s Impersonal Text, originally uploaded by DavidAll06.
Just blogged about my disappointment with Barack Obama’s impersonal text message. Read my thoughts at TechPresident or TechRepublican.
On Thursday, I was interviewed for a PBS Nightly Business Report about text messaging and its importance/potential to politics and business. Here’s a link to the YouTube clip and the transcript.
A few days ago, I pre-ordered the “digital version” of Bloc Party’s latest album, Intimacy.
Today the album was available for me to download. For all of you non-digital fanboys and fangals, it will be available in stores on October 28. (Suckers!)
But boy, am I glad I’m rocking the new Bloc Party album today — right […]
I found the clip of me talking about Barack Obama using a text message to announce his Veep selection on the CBS News YouTube channel. I should have looked their first.
Start the clip at the 00:45 mark:
In the past few days I’ve been interviewed by Associated Press TV, CBS News TV, and today, Hearst.
Unfortunately, the only way you’ll see these clips is if one of their affiliate stations throughout the nation chooses to run the package and air it. The clip would likely run during the local nightly news when they […]
I’m quoted in an Associated Press article running nationwide today on the importance of Barack Obama (bleh) using text messaging for his campaign.
My quotes:
“What Obama is creating is this army of individuals, these grass-roots activists, who are out there trying to change the world in 160 characters or less,” said David All, a Republican strategist […]
Last week we hired Katie Churchey. Officially, Katie joins as the fourth full-time teammate.
Katie has been a bright addition to the team and we’re glad she’s a part of it. She’s already earning her stripes working on one of our favorite accounts, the College Republican National Committee’s WhereistheRed.com.
To read more on Katie, check out her […]

This is a powerful profile picture of Charlie Smith, National Chairman of the College Republican National Committee, taken when he wasn’t expecting it.
Charlie is a calm and humble leader. His dedication to his organization shines through in this photograph.
I’ve been named a finalist (25 of us) in an international competition seeking to identify the “Top 10 Who Are Changing the World of Internet and Politics.” What an honor to make it this far.
However, if I’m going to win this award, I need your vote.

A colleague from the other side of the aisle, Garrett M. Graff, has an op-ed running in today’s New York Times on why text messaging matters (and should matter!) to a modern campaign. You can read it here. I recommend you do.
When Graff turns to look at the non-existant text messaging strategy of my guy, […]
We need a new office.
Our current sub-lease ends at the end of October and our team continues to expand (we hired Katie today and she can surf better than you or me). As the guy with the name on the website, for the past two months — finding the new home for DAG has been […]

My good friend Brendan Shields (pictured here) gave Team DAG (and friends) a tour of the West Wing this past Sunday. I’ve been on this tour a few times but it never, ever gets old.
You can see the rest of the pics here.
Thanks Brendan.
My flower guy, Faluh, corrected me. They’re Stargazers, not Starfighters.
I should have Googled it. Duh.
This is - by far - one of the greatest tracks of all time. Make sure you turn it up.

Phil Collins: In the Air Tonight
One of Ethan’s friends, Ben, has a very unique challenge which I was happy to help support today.
I don’t know Ben but I do know Ethan. Ethan told me about the “Bengato Challenge” over lunch and said they were close to launching a great website. Indeed, he was right.
You likely don’t know Ethan or Ben […]
Growing up, I was always curious how kids thought they’d make any money selling “lemonade” for $0.10 or $0.25 a glass (typically a Dixie cup). It sounds about as refreshing and quenching as it was.
So instead, one summer I went to the store and bought real lemons and made “lemon shake-ups.” We bought more […]
The Washington Times quotes me in a story today about John McCain’s recent kick-arse ads (view The One) that take a nice bite of the “hip” and “cool” of Barack Obama’s celebrity.
My contribution:
“He made a smart move because he jumped out of the political blogosphere and chattering class, and got into the celebrity chattering […]

A different message: Send in the Republican troops to continue to keep the pressure on House Dems for resisting a vote on energy.
Last night I finally succeeded in stealing some time away from the DAGcave to see Christoper Nolan’s Dark Knight. Rolled into the 9 PM showing at the Regal Gallery Place in Chinatown.
I have been trying to watch this movie since I read Ethan’s post giving it two enthusiastic thumbs up. I concur with Ethan — […]
Starfighters, originally uploaded by DavidAll06.
Starfighters, though the most expensive of the bunch, are both pretty and extremely aromatic. Good return on investment.
